For the People, by the People?: Eugene Sue's Les Mysteres de Paris - A Hypothesis in the Sociology of Literature
ISBN: 9781900755894 / Angielski / Miękka / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. EugEne Sue (1804-57), like his contemporary Alexandre Dumas pEre, was one of the most successful writers of his time. Les MystEres de Paris, the novel for which he is most remembered, became a publishing sensation. In its serial form, it took the public by storm -- readers fought for copies of the next instalment -- and in book form its print-run reached an unprecedented 60,000. Christopher Prendergast's study engages with the problematic of emerging forms of popular literature on the basis of a specific hypothesis: that Les MystEres de Paris, written and published in serial form, was,...

Bibliomania or Book Madness: Containing Some Account of the History, Symptoms and Cure of This Fatal Disease
ISBN: 9781904799016 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dibdin's Bibliomania is an anthem to the printed book, a warning to the unwary about the perils of obsessive book-collecting, and the confessions of a rabid book-collector. As a casual glance at the book will show, Dibdin's footnotes predominate over text, and it is in the footnotes that the interest lies. They invite questions as often as they answer them. What is the supposed similarity between 'Orator' Henley's library and Addison's memoranda for the Spectator? What cutting words did Edward Gibbon write about Thomas Hearne? Why should we not be surprised to find a book on American history...

Winter Journey
ISBN: 9781932559057 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Translated here for the first time into English by Nicholas Benson, the poems of Attilio Bertolucci's WINTER JOURNEY (Viaggio d'inverno) direct our gaze on communal life and health in moments of deceptive calm. Through a careful accounting of the situation of poetry-of the places and events that give rise to poetic motives and sensibilities- WINTER JOURNEY evolves an account of parallel illnesses: the author's nervous anxiety, and the broader afflictions of an emergent consumer society. Increasing social proximity serves mainly to illuminate a persistent isolation, relieved only and tenuously...

Narrating the Prison: Role and Representation in Charles Dickens' Novels, Twentieth-Century Fiction, and Film
ISBN: 9781934043608 / Angielski / Twarda / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book investigates the ways in which Charles Dickens's mature fiction, prison novels of the twentieth century, and prison films narrate the prison. To begin with, this study illustrates how fictional narratives occasionally depart from the realities of prison life, and interprets these narrations of the prison against the foil of historical analyses of the experience of imprisonment in Britain and America. Second, this book addresses the significance of prison metaphors in novels and films, and uses them as starting points for new interpretations of the narratives of its corpus. Finally,...

Tolkien Through Russian Eyes
ISBN: 9783952142479 / Angielski / Miękka / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Tolkien Through Russian Eyes examines the sociological impact of the translation and publication of J.R.R. Tolkiens works in post-Soviet Russia. After 70 years of obligatory State atheism, when the Soviet Union collapsed, Russian society began actively seeking new sets of spiritual values. The Christian-like doctrine of Tolkienism has attracted a substantial following. During the Soviet era, The Lord of the Rings was a banned book, which was translated independently by a number of underground translators. The result of this is that there are numerous contemporary published translations...

The Overcoming of History in War and Peace
ISBN: 9789042016323 / Angielski / Miękka / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Overcoming of History in "War and Peace" marks a radical departure from the critical tradition dominated by Sir Isaiah Berlin's view that the novel is deeply divided against itself, a majestically flawed contest of brilliant art and clumsy thought. To the contrary, Jeff Love argues that the apparently divided nature of the text, its multi-leveled negotiation between different kinds of representation, expresses the rich variety of the novel's very deliberate striving to capture the fluidity of change and becoming in the fixed forms of language. The inevitable failure of this striving,...

The Book as Artefact : Text and Border
ISBN: 9789042018884 / Angielski / Miękka / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Books do not just contain texts: books themselves are cultural artefacts, which convey many meanings in their own right, meanings which interact with the texts they contain. Awareness of the many significances of books as cultural and textual objects reshapes the traditional disciplines of textual theory, analytic bibliography, codicology and palaeography, while the advent of electronic books, and digital methods for representing print books, is introducing a new dimension to our understanding. Seven essays in this volume, ranging over medieval Portuguese and Swedish manuscripts,...

Silent Reading and the Birth of the Narrator
ISBN: 9780802093646 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although there is abundant evidence that silent reading existed in antiquity, the question remains as to when it became widespread. Silent Reading and the Birth of the Narrator asserts that, due to a rise in the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries in the number of parents who could afford to let their children read freely, widely, and for prolonged periods, an entire generation grew into fluent, silent readers in the later 1700s. At that point in time, the reader ceased to be a mouthpiece of the writer, becoming instead a silent hearer of an imagined writer's...

The Real History of Tom Jones
ISBN: 9780230602496 / Angielski / Miękka / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Real History of Tom Jones revivifies historical materials from which Henry Fielding constructed the greatest comic novel of the eighteenth century. This study recovers and explores the contexts necessary to understand Fielding's subtle art, such as the bloody conflict for the throne between Stuarts and Hanoverians, a contradictory class system, game laws that both protected and flouted individual property rights, and a justice system that proclaimed hanging for many crimes but let most criminals go. Drawing on evidence such as the peculiar appearance of eighteenth-century money, the...

Texts in Multiple Versions - Histories of Editions
ISBN: 9789042023437 / Angielski / Miękka / 389 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Texts in multiple versions constitute the core problem of textual scholarship. For texts from antiquity and the medieval period, the many versions may be the result of manuscript transmission, requiring editors and readers to discriminate between levels of authority in variant readings produced along the chain of copying. For texts of all periods, and particularly for more modern authors, there may also be multiple authorial versions. These are of particular importance for genetic criticism, as they offer a window on the author's thinking through the developing work. The different contexts...

Bookmarks: Reading in Black and White, First Paperback Edition
ISBN: 9780813543512 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Holloway is the first to call our attention to a trend of many prominent African American writers such as Maya Angelou, W.E.B. Du Bois, Malcolm X, and Zora Neale Hurston. Their autobiographies and memoirs are marked with booklists-records of their own readings. She examines these, along with the trends in Oprah Winfrey's book club, raising the questions: What does it mean for prominent African Americans to associate themselves with European learning? How do books by black authors fare in the hierarchy of a booklist?

Reading Hemingway's Men Without Women: Glossary and Commentary
ISBN: 9780873389433 / Angielski / Miękka / 189 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The aim of this book is not to have the final word on the meaning of the stories that compose Men Without Women. Rather, the study attempts to probe the events of each story as we encounter them. It seeks to explain historical references, to identify allusions, to see how form suggests meaning." --From the Preface Because of the fame The Sun Also Rises brought Ernest Hemingway, when Men Without Women was published just one year later, in 1927, it commanded popular and critical attention. Even reviewers who objected to a masculine emphasis and a sometimes harsh realism identified stories in...
